Hi,

 

i have started my UM2(with + upgrade) printer today and the leds on the left side were blinking. They still blink.

Is there anything i can check to fix this problem ?

 

Regards.

Emilio.

    I'm not sure what you mean.  When the bed gets up to temperature they flash about 20 to 50 times per second.  Most people don't notice this.  Is this what you mean or even when you first turned it on?  If it's flashing when you first turn it on (but not the bed heater is off) then it's probably a bad wire or bad LED strip.  The wiring can get caught in the belt and pulley system.

    The leds blink all the time, until I shut off the printer. I can even print a piece and leds are happily blinkg all the way. It affects only the left vertical side. The top and right leds do not blink. Is it easy to replace these led strips ?

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.

        Ultimaker Cura 5.6 stable released

        ArunC posted a topic in UltiMaker Cura,

        Cura now supports Method series printers!
         
        A year after the merger of Ultimaker and MakerBotQQ, we have unlocked the ability for users of our Method series printers to slice files using UltiMaker Cura. As of this release, users can find profiles for our Method and Method XL printers, as well as material profiles for ABS-R, ABS-CF, and RapidRinse. Meaning it’s now possible to use either Cura or the existing cloud-slicing software CloudPrint when printing with these printers or materials
